Great name for a band
Well-Groomed Fan
The story
Well-Groomed Fan was born out of the vibrant college scene in Portland, Oregon in 2008. The band was first formed by three best friends; Danny 'Danny Boy' O'Leary, Scott 'Scotty Beats' McKenzie, and Maria 'Ria Rhythm' Martinez. They were all studying in different fields but had a shared love for music. After countless nights jamming in their dorm, they decided to start taking their music outside the confines of their study rooms. The band name was inspired by a joke within the group about their 'well-groomed' mutual friend who was their first fan and attended each of their early performances.
Unkempt Love
Verse 1 [G] Waking up in the [D] morning sun, [Em] Your hair is a mess, but [C] our day has just begun. [G] You smile at me with [D] sleep in your eyes, [Em] I know I'm in love, it's [C] a beautiful surprise. Chorus [G] We've got this unkempt [D] love, [Em] Messy, wild, and [C] uncontrolled. [G] But like a well-groomed [D] fan, [Em] I'll stand by you, [C] watch our love unfold. Verse 2 [G] We dance in our [D] living room floor, [Em] Life's a mess, but [C] I couldn't ask for more. [G] Your laughter rings [D] through our small home, [Em] In your arms, I've [C] found where I belong. Chorus [G] We've got this unkempt [D] love, [Em] Complicated, beautiful [C] and bold. [G] But like a well-groomed [D] fan, [Em] I'll stand by you, [C] until we're old.
Biggest fan
My name is Adrian, and I've been following Well-Groomed Fan from their earliest days in Portland. Their music has this raw, honest quality, mixed with catchy melodies that you can't help but love. I remember seeing them play in small pubs, and even then you could see that they had something special. Their song "Unkempt Love" perfectly captures the beautiful chaos of love and life. Every time I hear it, I'm reminded of why Well-Groomed Fan is my favorite band. Their music speaks to me in a way that no other band does.
